Pollen Index: 10.7 Pollen Level: high Predominant Pollen: Elm, Poplar/Aspen/Cottonwood and Maple. The quantity of pollen grains in the air for Friday will be falling in the moderate range. This lower level is caused by rising humidity, weakening winds and expected precipitation in the morning, afternoon and evening which tends to wash pollen out of the air. Relief is in sight.
